A powerful and impassioned polemic ... This is strong stuff. And it is a compelling thesis from a British Muslim writer whose relationship with Islam has evolved dramatically over time

Justin Marozzi, Sunday Times

Not just timely but important too ... This should be compulsory reading

Peter Frankopan, author of 'The Silk Roads'

The House of Islam is a plea for the renewal of classical, traditional Islam against its extreme and politicised versions … For anyone interested in the future of Islam, both in Britain and the Islamic world, this is an important book

David Goodhart, The Times

The House of Islam is a long awaited and desperately needed book from one of our foremost thinkers at the nexus of civil society and theology ... Incisive and thought-provoking

Bruce Hoffman, author of 'Inside Terrorism'

Husain's account is not sensationalist, tending more to understatement than to hyperbole ... A complete eye-opener

Praise for 'The Islamist', The Times

Captivating, and terrifyingly honest ... a wake-up call to monocultural Britain, it takes you into the mind of young fundamentalists, exposing places in which the old notion of being British is defunct

Praise for 'The Islamist', Observer
